Even though I'm the proud owner of a "Sibley's" ...some birds are just plain tough to identify...maybe you guy's can help!...new to this birding thing by the book ....afew quickly snapped images from this morning.not the sharpest and greatest....they don't sit around "lollygagging"

not the best but never saw this one before...

maybe a "Cape May"?

and a redstart

and this little guy?

Jonny, you're right on the ones you IDd. I'm going to say northern parula on the first image and yellow-bellied flycatcher on the last.

Nice pics!

Never saw the first 2, I've saw the Redstart, but I think the last one is a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, at least that's what the last one looks like to me.

Could be a RCK, LPCRF. It was a bit of a toss-up, but the pretty strong yellow and the shape/heaviness of the bill put me into the yellow-bellied flycatcher camp.

I would have to go with the Ruby-Crowned Kinglet. There appears to be only one wing bar, and looks really white in the photo.

Johnny I think your going to put Carey Lake on the map as a birding hot spot pretty soon!

[jonny_redhorse]

It "is" a great spot for birding!....you never know...maybe even come across a "Bigfoot" out there ........

I saw some of the last ones at the Buffalo river Regional Science cetner birding stations this morning. I will post a pic a little later when I get it PP.

Nice pics, I am going with Ruby-crowned Kinglet...especially if the thing never sat still and was hard to get a picture of

Thats a Ruby on the last one... thats my story, and I'm sticking to it.
